      And they will argue that whistleblowing is actually a crime, because, uhm, it’s, uhm, yeah it’s illegal! And if it’s illegal to be a good citizen, then this is totally warranted and no scandal at all, because only bad people do illegal things!

      Many people are willing to sacrifice a lot of people for the tiny chance of maybe stopping a criminal once.
